Description

Method, apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for quantifying keystroke force

Aspects of the present invention relate generally to human-computer interaction, and more particularly to quantifying input device keystroke force.

Computing technology has exponentially increased in performance since its inception. Processors work at higher rates; memory is bigger and always faster; mass storage gets bigger and cheaper every year. Computers are now an essential component in many aspects of life, and are often used to present three-dimensional worlds to users at every level, from gaming to scientific visualization.

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) studies the design and use of computer technology, focusing on the interface between humans (users) and computers. Humans interact with computers in many ways. The interface between the human and the computer is crucial to facilitate this interaction. The interface between the user and the computer has not yet achieved the same rate of change as computing technology. For example, screen windows, keyboards, monitors, and mice are standard and have undergone minimal changes since their introduction. Little thought has been given to the human-computer interface, but much of the user's experience with a computer is governed by the interface between the user and the computer.

As computers continue to increase in performance, the human-computer interface becomes more and more important. The effective bandwidth for communication with the user is insufficient to use only traditional mice and keyboards for input and monitors and speakers for output. More capable interface support is desirable to accommodate more complex and demanding applications.

The aforementioned apparatus may adjust the parameter corresponding to the aforementioned feedback of the aforementioned pressing force based on the aforementioned category. The aforementioned device may control the aforementioned feedback based on the aforementioned parameters.

In one aspect, the aforementioned plurality of categories may include a first category, a second category, and a third category.

To enhance the user experience, in one embodiment, the click force on a key on an input device (eg, a mouse) may be quantified as soft, medium, and hard. The click force may correspond to the desired lighting condition as a form of feedback indicator or tactile feedback (in the form of the strength of the vibration force). A feedback engine (eg, glow) can use the quantized value of the click force to set the light accordingly. For example, the light may be set to light green for soft clicks, the light may be set to normal green for medium clicks, and the light may be set to dark green for hard clicks.

1A is a diagram showing an assembled view of a mouse 100 for communicating with a processor-based device, according to various embodiments. FIG. 1B is a drawing showing an exploded view of the mouse 100 of FIG. 1A according to various embodiments. As shown, mouse 100 may include housing 110 . The housing 110 may be the outer casing of the mouse 100 . In addition, the housing 110 may include a cover part 120 and a base part 130 . The cover portion 120 and the base portion 130 may be two separate parts of the housing 110 . The cover portion 120 of the housing 110 may be the outer casing of the mouse 100 top box cover. The base portion 130 of the housing 110 may be the bottom case cover of the outer housing of the mouse 100 . According to various embodiments, when the cover portion 120 and the base portion 130 are assembled together, the housing 110 can define an inner cavity to accommodate or enclose the internal components 140 of the mouse 100 .

According to various embodiments, the internal components 140 of the mouse 100 may include an electronic circuit module 142 and a motion detection module 144 .

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a mouse button click signal 200 . In one embodiment, the mouse button click signal 200 may reflect the signal generated by the mouse button on the mouse. In one embodiment, the mouse button click signal 200 may be an analog signal. In another embodiment, the mouse button click signal 200 may be a digital signal. In this example, the mouse button click signal 200 begins in the idle state 202 when the button is not being pressed. When the button is pressed, the mouse button click signal 200 enters the debounce period 204 . During the debounce period 204, the toggle and relay contacts associated with the mouse buttons slam together, and the momentum and elasticity of the contacts work together to bounce the contacts apart one or more times before making stable contact. The result is a rapidly pulsating current rather than a clean transition from the idle state 202 to the active state 206 . After the debounce period 204 ends, the mouse button click signal 200 enters the active state 206 where the button is continuously pressed. When the pressed button is released, the mouse button click signal 200 switches back to the idle state 202 .

FIG. 3 illustrates the calculation based on the mouse button click signal 300 A diagram of an example of a button press duration 314 of a mouse. In one embodiment, the mouse button click signal 300 may be the mouse button click signal 200 described above in FIG. 2 and reflects the signal generated by the mouse with respect to the mouse button. In this example, the mouse button click signal 300 begins in the idle state 302 when the button is not being pressed. When the button is pressed at the start time 310 , the mouse button click signal 300 enters the debounce period 304 . After the debounce period 304 ends, the mouse button click signal 300 enters the active state 306 where the button is continuously pressed. When the pressed key is released at the end time 312 , the mouse button click signal 300 switches back to the idle state 302 .

In one embodiment, the button press duration 314 of the mouse is calculated based on the start time 310 and the end time 312 . As a result, the button press duration 314 of the mouse may include the debounce period 304 and the period during which the mouse button click signal 300 remains in the active state 306 .

In one embodiment, the movement of the mouse can automatically trigger the end time 312, regardless of whether the key is released. In one embodiment, the calculation of the mouse's button press duration 314 may be in the mouse's microcontroller (eg, within the electronic circuit module 142) or in a device driver of a processor-based device connected to the mouse occur. A device driver can be a computer program that operates or controls a mouse.

In one embodiment, the key press duration 314 may be used to reduce the key click force to soft (eg, corresponding to a relatively short key press duration), medium (eg, corresponding to a relatively medium key press duration) , or hard (for example, corresponding to a relatively long key press hold duration). The quantified click force may correspond to both haptic feedback and lighted feedback applications. For example, the key click force may be quantified as soft if the key press duration 314 is shorter than a first threshold value (eg, 100 ms), and if the key press duration 314 is longer than a second threshold value (eg, 300 ms) ) is quantified as hard, or is quantified as medium if the key press duration 314 is between 100ms and 300ms inclusive.

In one embodiment, the user can configure thresholds for quantifying different categories of click force (eg, soft, medium, or hard) via configuration software or device drivers for both haptic feedback and luminous feedback options value. In one embodiment, machine-based learning (eg, by playing a game or clicking on data captured from data collection software) enables the mouse to adapt to the user's click preferences over a certain period of time. This situation enables the mouse to be familiar and adaptable to the user's click force preference, and each click force type is determined corresponding to the timing for each type of click.

In one embodiment, threshold values for quantifying click force for different categories (eg, soft, medium, or hard) may be determined based on a statistical distribution of past key press durations. For example, if the longest key press duration among the 20% of past clicks with the shortest key press duration is 100 ms, the key click force may be quantified as soft if the key press duration 314 is shorter than 100 ms. If the shortest key press duration among the 20% of past clicks with the longest key press duration is 300 ms, then the key click force can be quantified as hard if the key press duration 314 is longer than 300 ms. And the button click force can be between 100ms and 300ms (inclusive) during the button press duration 314 The case quantification is moderate.

Once the key click force is quantified, corresponding lighting or haptic feedback can be assembled and provided. FIG. 4 illustrates an example of providing different luminous feedback corresponding to different quantized values of key click force. As illustrated in diagram 400 , mouse 406 includes light emitting device 402 and buttons 408 . If the click force on the button 408 is hardened, the lighting device 402 can be configured to display darker colors. If the click force on button 408 is softened, light emitting device 402 can be configured to display lighter colors, as illustrated in diagram 420 . If the click force on button 408 is moderate, then light emitting device 402 can be configured to display colors with intensities between darker and lighter colors, as illustrated in diagram 410 . By providing multiple layers of haptic or luminous feedback, the user and gaming experience can be enhanced.

In one embodiment, in order to determine the duration of pressing the key, the device may calculate the duration based on the start time and the end time. The start time may be the first time instance at which the key was pressed and the end time may be the second time instance at which the pressed key was released, as described above with reference to FIG. 3 . In one embodiment, movement of the input device can trigger the end time regardless of whether the pressed key is released. In one embodiment, the calculation of the duration may be performed by a microcontroller of the input device or by a program running on a computing device coupled to the input device.

At step 504, the device may classify the pressing force applied on the keys of the input device into one of a plurality of categories based on the duration. In one embodiment, the plurality of categories may include a first category, a second category, and a third category. The pressing force may be classified into the first category when the duration is shorter than the first threshold value. The pressing force may be classified into the third category when the duration is longer than the second threshold value. The second threshold value may be greater than the first threshold value. The pressing force may be classified into the second category when the duration is longer than or equal to the first threshold value but shorter than or equal to the second threshold value. In one embodiment, at least one of the first threshold value and the second threshold value may be predetermined (eg, predetermined by the user and/or manufacturer), configurable (eg, used or can be adapted via machine-based learning.

At step 506, the device may adjust parameters corresponding to feedback of compression force based on the category. In one embodiment, the feedback can be haptic feedback and at least one of luminous feedback. The parameter may be at least one of the vibration intensity of the haptic feedback, the color intensity of the luminous feedback, and the light duration of the luminous feedback. For example, if classified by pressure into the third category, the parameter can be adjusted to a value corresponding to a high intensity of vibration, or a high color intensity of light emission, or a longer duration of light emission. Similarly, if sorted by pressure into the first category, the parameter can be adjusted to a value corresponding to a low intensity of vibration, or a low color intensity of light emission, or a shorter duration of light emission.

At step 508, the device may optionally control the feedback based on the parameter. For example, the device may control the light duration and/or color intensity of the luminous feedback based on the parameters, or the device may control the vibration intensity of the haptic feedback based on the parameters.
